I don't think this is possible with the built-in footnote feature (unless things have changed in CC, which I don't have) you're probably better off creating your own text frame and writing your footnotes manually.

You could create a solution based on cross-references, but that will probably be a fair amount of work to set up. If you don't have that many footnotes it's probably easier to set up and manage them manually.

There is a script that converts your footnotes to endnotes using cross-references. The script places your footnotes at the end of your text (i.e. endnotes) but you could manually move them later or possibly modify the script to place them in a new text frame on the correct page.

You can find the script here:

There is a detailed explination of adding new notes and deleting existing notes after using the script here:
